Always remember==All Quilt Police are driven by a lack of ego, they have to make others feel inferior so they can feel good, and should be of no further interest to us happy-go-lucky quilters.
Let them rant, it gives exercise to their mouths, and we all know that exercise is good for the body but maybe not for the soul.
Quilt on any way you please, with any pattern that you like, with any fabric that makes your heart sing!!
